According to Steve Kyler, he has reiterated that the Raptors, Bobcats deal is still not dead and the Bobcats seem to have growing interest in Jose Calderon...

It appears that the Bobcats have been showing more interest lately. According to David Aldridge, the Bobcats were supposedly talking trade with the Toronto Raptors, and Indiana Pacers about a three-way trade that would have seen center Erick Dampier head to the Pacers, and point guards Jose Calderon and TJ Ford head to Charlotte and Toronto respectively.

The deal is still being discussed today, so the four teams that already had the trade in place decided to go ahead with the monster swap.

The deal cold be made again with different players this time..

i think the deal in place is DJ and Diaw.. Damp stays right here so we can cut and resign

Makes more sense because the Bobs will then have a glut of PGs. I wouldn't bet on resigning Damp without a deal in place before cutting him. Even if Damp re-signs, I think Nazr is the starter.

Calderon/Livingston

Jax/Hendo

G-Force/Brown

TT/Najera

Nazr/Damp

Hughes, Collins, and Diop fill out the bench with possibly another 3 spot player. I like this lineup a lot better if Diaw stays with the Bobs since he can play either forward spot, though I read that Diaw has gotten lazier this offseason and put on some weight.

That lineup still can't touch

Paul/Livingston

Jax

G-Force/Brown

TT

Oke

and whatever the bench would be filled out with.

forget CP3- he is officially off the table since Collison was traded to the Pacers last week.. it looks more and more like we will eventually have a trade with Toronto for Calderon (we have a hard-on for him)- whoever/whatever is involved in the trade remains to be seen

Yes he is, but I think MJ and the rest of the FO thought taking on Damp would be the asset they needed to get CP3. It didn't work out that way and now I think the Bobs are scrambling to fill the holes and come out as the #7-8 seed in the playoffs this year.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
